Title:
METHOD FOR APPLYING BSR ELASTOMER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000073042
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A method for assembling interior vehicle trim parts including panels and components in which two trim parts (16, 52) are disposed adjacent one another and in which a bead (12) of buffer material is disposed between mating surfaces of the two trim parts. The bead (12) is included to reduce noises such as buzzes, squeaks and rattles produced by contact and relative motion between the first and second trim parts at their mating surfaces. The bead (12) is mechanically locked into a recess in one of the mating surfaces. The bead (12) is mechanically locked to a mating surface (14) by forming a recess (24) in the mating surface (14) then applying buffer material in the recess (24). The buffer material is applied in such a way as to form a bead (12) of buffer material on the mating surface (14). The bead (12) is allowed to mechanically connect to the first trim part (16) as a result of the hardening of the buffer material within the recess (24).
